Three students increase faster because learning from peers, engage with patient, and role-model. Two students increase slower because lack understanding of reflection and incorrect facilitators’ feedbacks. Two students stable because lack understanding of discussion and low engagement with patient. One student experienced a decrease because lack of task-commitment and interest.
